MANILA, April 12 -- The Philippine Navy (PN) has validated the precision strike capability of the newly installed Israeli-made Spike NLOS (non-line of sight) missile system fitted aboard one of its fast attack interdiction craft (FAIC) platforms.

The NLOS missile system accurately hit the target at least 20 kilometers away during the firing held in Mariveles, Bataan on Wednesday, Navy spokesperson Commander John Percie Alcos said in a news release Friday.

"Said activity was part of the acceptance terms and training deliverables included in the FAIC Acquisition Project," he said.

"Offering unparalleled accuracy and versatility, this new capability represents a leap forward in precision-guided munitions technology," Alcos added.
